 Families of militants, if any, were requested to identify them at Baramulla and if identified, the families can associate in burial and last rites as per religious practices, he said.
“Just 24 hours before, five militants were killed in the Rebon Shopian area of the same district. Dead bodies of all the five militants have been identified by their families at the burial site and they participated in their last rites yesterday night.” meanwhile, lauding the role of the Police, CRPF and the army, General officer Commanding (GoC) 15 Corps Lt Gen B S Raju said the operation was conducted in a “smooth manner” with no collateral damage to civilian property.
Addressing a press conference at the Victor Force headquarters at Awantipora, Gen Raju said the operation was conducted smoothly because of the professionalism of all the agencies involved.
“The intelligence given by Jammu and Kashmir Police, solid crowd control done by the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) and the appropriate tactics that were used by the forces on ground ensured that it was done in the most professional manner,” Gen Raju said. He said he was aware of the difficult circumstances under which the operation was conducted, which involved evacuating considerable number of civilians from the vicinity.
“I would credit the local population, which kind of facilitated the conduct of the operation in such a smooth manner.” (GNS)
